About this study

Official title: Comparison of Time to Appropriate Antibiotic Between Using Microarray Assay and Mass Spectrometry Technique for Identification of Positive Blood Cultures

This is an experimental study of participants who had positive blood culture to compare time to appropriate antibiotic between using Microarray Assay and Mass Spectrometry to bacterial Identification.

Read the detailed description

Between June to Dec 2018, 200 participants those met the eligibility criteria were enrolled in this study that is a quasi experimental study. All participants were empirical antibiotic therapy by infectious physician. 100 patients in Pre-intervention group had bacterial identification by Mass spectrometry technique from bacterial colony and 100 patients in Post-intervention group had bacterial identification by Microarray assay from blood culture. Antibiotic adjustment were considered after bacterial identification and result of antibiotic susceptibility testing. Then all participants were re-evaluated outcome after treatment. Finally, the results were ready to analysis in January 2019.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mass spectrometryDiagnostic test

    Molecular diagnostic test for bacterial identification from bacterial colony

  • Microarray assayDiagnostic test

    Bacterial identification by Microarray assay from positive blood culture and confirmed by Mass spectrometry technique from bacterial colony. Adjusted antibiotic therapy according to AST Re-evaluation after treatment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the time to appropriate antibiotic therapy in patients with positive blood cultures between using Microarray assays versus Mass Spectrometry technique for Identification of Positive Blood Cultures

    Comparison of time that participants received appropriate antibiotic therapy between 2 study period (Mass spectrometry technique and Microarray assay group)

    Measured: 4 days from positive hemoculture

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mortality rate at 2 weeks

    To compare proportion of mortality between 2 study periods (Mass spectrometry technique and Microarray assay group) at 2 weeks after enrollment

    Measured: 14 days from positive hemoculture

  2. Length of hospital stays

    To compare lengths of hospital stay between 2 study periods (Mass spectrometry technique and Microarray assay group)

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Cost of antibiotic therapy

    To compare the cost of antibiotics for the course of treatment during study period between 2 study period (Mass spectrometry technique and Microarray assay group)

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Percentage of De-escalation or escalation antibiotic

    To compare percentage of De-escalation or escalation antibiotic between 2 study periods (Mass spectrometry technique and Microarray assay group)

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mass spectrometry and Microarray assay in people with Septicemia, run by Chiang Mai University at 1 site in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Parichart Sakulkonkij, MD (+66-81595-8662, papi-jung@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare the time to appropriate antibiotic therapy in patients with positive blood cultures between using Microarray assays versus Mass Spectrometry technique for Identification of Positive Blood Cultures (time frame: 4 days from positive hemoculture). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jul 2018.
